SUMMARY: Israel’s military killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif and others in a Gaza airstrike, confirmed by Gaza hospital officials. Israel accused al-Sharif of leading a Hamas cell, allegations Al Jazeera denies, calling the strike a “targeted assassination.” The strike also killed Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Qreiqeh and four other journalists sheltering near Gaza’s largest hospital. This incident follows an intensified Israeli smear campaign against journalists documenting the war, including prior accusations against other Al Jazeera staff. The UN condemned the strike as a grave breach of international law. The Committee to Protect Journalists states at least 186 journalists have died in Gaza, marking this conflict as the deadliest for reporters.

SUMMARY: Tropical waves in the Atlantic basin are being closely monitored this week. One wave near the coast of Africa has a 50% chance of developing over the next seven days, while another in the central Atlantic has about a 20% chance and may fizzle out. A possible secondary wave could form near Africa as well. This pattern aligns with typical Atlantic hurricane season trends, which are quiet in June and July, peak around September 10th, and decline through October. Both the Euro and GFS models currently keep these disturbances north of the Caribbean, but rain chances and isolated storms will continue into next week.

SUMMARY: The U.S. military is constructing Camp East Montana at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, which will be the largest federal migrant detention center in U.S. history. Initially housing 1,000 migrants awaiting deportation, it will expand to 5,000 beds. The Army has spent $232 million so far, with a $1.24 billion contract awarded to Acquisition Logistics for the facility. Earlier plans to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay were halted due to unmet ICE housing standards. Currently, 33 high-threat and eight low-threat migrants remain at Guantanamo. The White House has not commented on the tent infrastructure status.

The Fort Bliss, El Paso, center will be the largest in US history.
